Comments CommentsA zoo, just a real zoo on a friday. Lift lines stretched up conifer and ralph's. Sad when you have to take the lift up to get in line without having to skin to the end of the line. They still only had conifer open from the summit and on mid they only had challenger and ralph's run open and they were blowing snow on challenger so it looked like most folks were skiing ralph's run which would have made that pretty congested. They were busing folks up from the lower lots by 9:30-9:45ish. I couldn't believe the people making a mass exodus, like myself, by 10AM. I made 3 runs from the top and 1 on sundowner in an hour and that was only because I was one of the first 20 or so in line when the lift opened. Skiing was like skiing through a human slalom course and of course you had the young crowd who just blasted down through everyone with total disregard. I tried to cut Wachusett staff some slack this year due to weather but with their snowmaking capacity they have just missed the boat. There is no way the mountain shouldn't have been completely covered with man made snow before this storm. Most good snowmaking days they have had the guns blowing on the slopes people are skiing while the other slopes had nothing going on. If friday was a preview of what their limited ticket sales, to ensure social distancing and keep folks safe during this pandemic, was going to look like I guess it is time for this regular to find another place to ski. You're crazy if you head up there this weekend.
